Re: Military-industrial 101
"So understand that when you complain about the military-industrial complex... your country helped make America what it is today."
Others have addressed the nonsense preceding this more than adequately already, but this last part seems particularly strange to be. Sure, my country helped make America what it is today. My country helped make pretty much every single country in the world what it is today. That doesn't mean I must think all the actions that "help" took the form of were good, or that I think the final product must be perfect. What our countries may or may not have done in the past is utterly irrelevant when it comes to complaining about the problems of today. My country helped make yours what it is today, and the military-industrial complex is a problem; those are two entirely unrelated statements.
